Antioxidant-rich vegetables with carotenoids and vitamin C that help improve skin tone

Includes bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, kale, and sweet potatoes. They provide lycopene, lutein, and beta-carotene.

Characteristics & nutrition facts

Colorful vegetables such as bell pepper, broccoli, tomato, carrot, spinach, kale, and sweet potato are rich in carotenoids such as beta-carotene and lycopene as well as vitamin C. These pigment components are known to be able to help, through their antioxidant action, in responding to the reactive oxygen species generated by UV and environmental stress. A notable point is that a variety of colors means a variety of antioxidant components.

How to manage

The 'rainbow diet' approach of evenly including several colors in one meal is generally recommended for securing nutritional diversity. Cooking and eating fat-soluble components such as beta-carotene and lycopene with a little oil is a useful reference for absorption. Lightly cooking tomatoes and carrots can help with the absorption of some components.

Good to know alongside

Eating them together with fruits high in vitamin C and nuts rich in vitamin E is a useful reference for an antioxidant nutrition combination. Excessive carotenoid intake can temporarily make the skin look yellow, so balance is recommended.

Everyday care tips

Adding an olive oil dressing to a raw vegetable salad can help with the intake of fat-soluble components. The habit of choosing deeply colored vegetables first is good for securing diversity.
